slon who bad been recalled, the I
-defense objected to thr Introdue-
on oi mppcuoo;wr,
mlt to form the Empire-'-corpora
tion, on the grounds that the Blue
Sky law under which such appli
cation was required was uncon
stitutional In that it placed the
decision about what waa required
In the application in the hands of
the corporation commissioner in
stead of definitely stating Jt.
Judge Walker dismissed the jury
while the attorneys argued this
point, and later overruled the ob
jection and permitted the use of
the application as a state's ex
hibit In ruling on the matter,
Judge Walker cited the case of
State ts. , Gerrltson and an opin
ion written by Judge O. P. Cosh-
or to, the effect that the state
supreme court had found the Blue
Sky law constitutional and that
the U. S. supreme court had at
firmed t this. It was also stated
that Jay Stockman", another of
the defendants In the Empire case
had represented the state In the
Gerrltson case. ,
Former Salesman
Of Company Talks '
J. C. Roblson of Portland,
brother of George Roblson the
first state witness, waa being
cross-examined . when the court
adjourned. Frank Lonergan will
resume the cross-examination to
morrow . morning. Mr. Roblson
told of his work as a salesman for
the Empire corporation and of the
talks he had with . Frank Keller
about the method of making sales
and points to be stressed in the
sales talks. His testimony 'about
where the money was to be placed
for safe keeping and the subscrip
tions : of - the principal officers
merely substantiated that of the
tner witnesses. He said that he
once heard Keller aay that he and
Judge- Coshow were the only , of
ficers who had paid anything for
their stock. Keller waa said to
hare paid 16000 and Coshow, $3-
000.
v Roblson stated that he had sold
nearly 800 shares of Empire stock
'and had received $3600 in com
' missions although tne company
still owed him some money. His
ales amounted to about $80,000.
In regard to the sale of "West
erner stock, Roblson said that be
had been told by Keller and W. R.
Adams that the ; Empire people
wanted ' to get control of the
"Westerner as an adtertlslng
medium and that later the -West
erner" stock could .be turned in
. . for Empire stock on a two for one
basis. At the 'request of Keller,
:. who said he needed aome money,
Roblson - made hla first sale of
"Westerner stock to 8. G. Nel-
aoa of Portland. Kelson bought 40
ahares and Roblson received $200
commission for this sale. Keller
. suggested that Nelson sign a let
ter to a man in Salt Lake City
asking to bay 'the 40 shares of
stock and after Roblson attended
to this the letter was turned over
to W. R. Adams. Roblson stated
that he did not ,know whether
the ; letter was mailed or not.
Later, he said, Keller asked who
the letter was addressed to and
when he found that Roblson had
addressed it to the wrong man,
Keller said that It did not mat
ter because the letter was just to
protect himself and - Dr. ' Adams,
; Roblson stated that . he sub
scribed for $20,000 worth of Em
pire stock and had given a 80
day note for $5000 and another
- note for $18,000. Neither of these
has been paid.
Admits Sale After
Permita - Snspcmded
Under cross-examination by
Frank Lonergan, Roblson Samit
ted that he sold 20 shares of Em
pire stock to Frank Barber after
the corporation's permit to sell
stock had bees suspended. Ha
said that Dr. Clancy told htm that
they had secured permission from

Big Packers' are Accused of

Trend of matters la the Mar
shall strawberry deal so far this
spring: leads one close outside ob

Tory much like the big packers are
trying to freeze the little ones out
by holding the price down almost
half from the figure which gor
erned last year's opening.

However, one obsserver sees the
present situation in a light which
may prove a boomerang to the
packer. This observer argues
thus:
"Some of the big packers quot
ing out barrelled strawberries
freely at five cents may be all
right in the face of present crop
conditions and the depressed mar
kets. But to quote future sales
right now at this price as freely as
packers are doing now might In
the end prove too bad for the
packers themselves should the
crop fall short of expectations.1
While the strawberry acreage is
estimated at 12 per cent greater
than last year, and while moisure
conditions are excellent, there is
not yet assurance that the erop
will be a bumper one, or even
heavy. The almost constant, rain
has kept strawberry growers from
the fields, and as a result weeds
and crass have a prolific start in
many of the berry fields. With 1
such ajead on the grower, weeds
